For years I missed the man pages of the C++ standard library and now found out that some Linux distros provide them as extra package. The man pages are not generated by a default during a GCC bootstrap install but need an explicit make doc-install-man in the corresponding doc directory of libstdc++.

Is there any such mechanism to generate man pages for D/Phobos?

Hello,
I have the same question. Where to find something similar to man pages from C? I would like to use core.sys.posix.dirent and don't know where to find manuals about it. Reading dirent.h or man opendir is a lot easier than reading dirent.d from
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-slackware-linux/9.2.0/include/d/core/sys/posix
If I read dirent.d, then I see something like:
else version (CRuntime_Bionic)
{
}
else version (CRuntime_Musl)
{
}
else version (CRuntime_UClibc)
{
    void   seekdir(DIR*, c_long);
    c_long telldir(DIR*);
}
else
{
    static assert(false, "Unsupported platform");
}
does it mean that I can't use seekdir() on systems with Musl? (Alpine linux)?
